Different colors are used to indicate various (lattice) structure (red: hexagon; blue: square; green: triangle). Different symbols distinguish various distance between nearest neighboring atoms (a = 0.7–1.3, in units of a0=0.142 nm) in both (a) and (b). The cyan area shows the occurred temperature of homogeneous ice nucleation, the magenta and yellow areas show the ranges of the ice nucleation temperature on the surfaces with the SW and LJ potentials, respectively. To make the results more readable, the data points of SW are shaded in (b) and only the magenta area is kept.

B, 2023, 32 (2): 027201 范德华层状磁性材料对下一代自旋电子器件至关重要。探索新的相结构和磁性调控方法将促进自旋电子学的发展。铬基硫族化合物1T-CrTe2由于其室温磁性引起了人们的极大研究兴趣。范德华层状磁性材料1T-CrTe2通常表现为具有P-3m1空间群的三方相结构。本文预测了一种具有C2/m空间群的新奇单斜相结构,并发现可以通过改变空穴掺杂浓度来实现结构调控,同时伴随着铁磁性到反铁磁性的转变。研究表明,空穴掺杂会导致三方相出现晶格不稳定性,而单斜相始终保持晶格稳定性。空穴掺杂引起的磁性变化源于Cr-Cr直接交换相互作用和Cr-Te-Cr超交换相互作用之间的竞争机制。该工作为范德华层状磁性材料的相结构与磁性调控提供了新的思路。 原文链接 PDF Fig. 1.

B, 2023, 32 (2): 027501 石榴石型铁氧体Y3Fe5O12(YIG)兼具诸多优越的特性,如化学稳定性、低阻尼系数、较强的磁性、绝缘等。这些特性使YIG成为研究自旋电子学效应的理想载体。近年来发现的自旋霍尔效应(SHE)、逆自旋霍尔效应(ISHE)、自旋霍尔磁阻(SMR)等新奇自旋电子学现象均在YIG薄膜异质结中被发掘和广泛研究。而基于YIG的自旋电子器件的性能则强烈依赖于YIG层中磁矩的取向。特别是垂直磁各向异性(PMA)的实现可以为自旋电子器件提供更好的热稳定性和更低的功耗。因此,研究高质量、低磁损耗YIG薄膜的生长条件并有效调控YIG薄膜的磁各向异性对其实际应用具有重要意义。 为解决这些问题,作者通过对YIG和Bi:YIG薄膜的磁各向异性进行深入研究,系统揭示了铁氧体薄膜中应力和掺杂物种对磁各向异性的协同影响机制。作者首先探讨了低磁损耗YIG外延薄膜的生长条件,采用脉冲激光沉积技术在一系列(111)面石榴石衬底上生长了YIG和Bi:YIG薄膜。通过实验发现较大的张应力能够诱导出垂直磁各向异性(PMA),而压缩应力则有助于产生磁化易平面(MEP)。这说明了应力调控对磁各向异性的影响显著。接着,作者对YIG进行了Bi掺杂(BiY2Fe5O12,简称为Bi:YIG),并进行了对照实验。结果发现,Bi掺杂可以显著提高磁各向异性的应变可调性,同时仍可保持超低磁损耗特性。这意味着通过应力和化学掺杂的协同作用可以实现对石榴石型铁氧体磁各向异性的有效控制。 总之,本研究通过系统地研究YIG和Bi:YIG外延薄膜的生长条件、应力调控以及化学掺杂对磁各向异性的影响,为实现石榴石型铁氧体薄膜和异质结构中磁各向异性的有效控制提供了重要指导。此外,本研究还发现,决定磁各向异性的关键参数是沿薄膜外延方向的菱形畸变。这些实验结果为未来进一步优化石榴石型铁氧体异质结构的生长条件和材料性能提供了宝贵的经验,对于开发具有高度可控磁性能和低能耗的铁氧体基自旋电子器件具有重要意义。 原文链接 PDF Fig.5 .
